It Seems Sad To Say

Due to climate change and destruction of their natural habitat by humans it seems sad to say
That extinction for many species of wildlife does not seem far away
Every day more land is mapped for development and more trees are cut down
And wildlife losing out to every developing town
Less animals in their wild state to be seen and less songbirds to sing
Does rob us of some of the enjoyment of Spring
That many species of wildlife are facing extinction in part due to human greed
On us does reflect rather poorly indeed
A World where many species of animals and birds are becoming rare
The very thought of it even does seem hard to bear
No cry of the boobook owl in the calm moonlight
And fewer creatures of the day and fewer creatures of the night
And sad to think that in the World we live in from north to southern shore
That more species are facing extinction than ever before.
